My Phantom voyage
#7
The relocation of the Kii Three's to the living room made it possible to go through with a project I've been thinking of for some time. How would Phantom work in a 5.0 surround setup? I had most of the bits and pieces needed but some key parts were missing. The first thing I needed was a surround preamplifier. I couldn't afford an Anthem or Trinnov, but an old Onkyo pre with balanced outputs was in reach. The old Onkyo pre's are, in my opinion, good value for money. They were quite expensive when released but the resale price has plummeted, as with all surround equipment. I had the PR-SC886 a decade ago, and was happy with it. The sound quality is good and the Audyssey room correction is working as it should. It can't handle the latest surround formats, but I'm aiming for 5.0 not 11.9 Atmos or similar. After a while a PR-SC5507 was offered me at a good price, and a beast/dinosaur of a preamplifier was heading north. It's enormous, even bigger than most surround amplifiers. Onkyo must have missed the miniaturizion train when designing it.
Here's the behemoth
   

You know it's vintage when it has this sticker. 
   

Another gizmo missing was an ADC. I already had one RME ADI-2 AD/DA used for the RIAA. I think the ADI-2 transparent and doesn't add anything to the converted signal. It's not the latest fashion in AD/DA-conversion but it is versatile and more than good enough for my little experiment. Another one was acquired at a reasonable price. 
   
I believe they look, sorry, sound best stacked. 

A cheapo Cypress DCT-4 will serve as the ADC for the surround channels until I can get hold of another ADI-2 or similar.
Living room: Kii Three/BXT with Control.
Den: Tannoy Precision 8 iDP with TS112 iDP subwoofer.
In the cupboard, waiting for a sibling: 1st gen. Phantom Silver running DOS1
